該塔(ta)(ta)有(you)(you)三奇,其(qi)一是(shi)(shi)無(wu)塔(ta)(ta)尖(jian),一般塔(ta)(ta)均(jun)有(you)(you)尖(jian),而梵安寺(si)塔(ta)(ta)沒有(you)(you);其(qi)二是(shi)(shi)塔(ta)(ta)頂(ding)蓋廟,甚(shen)為罕見;其(qi)三是(shi)(shi)40多米高的塔(ta)(ta)無(wu)地基,完(wan)全建立在黃土上(shang)。
相傳,不(bu)知何時圣(sheng)人造了(le)一(yi)座高(gao)塔(ta)(ta),塔(ta)(ta)頂(ding)(ding)直插云(yun)霄(xiao),磨得天(tian)叫,攪(jiao)得天(tian)際不(bu)安(an),張天(tian)師見到大(da)怒,一(yi)鞭將塔(ta)(ta)打為(wei)三截,底截在上賢(xian)(xian);中截落在汾(fen)陽冀村(cun)村(cun)北(bei)壽圣(sheng)寺,梢截落在汾(fen)陽城東(dong)建(jian)昌村(cun),有(you)(you)“上賢(xian)(xian)的(de)根根,冀村(cun)的(de)身身,建(jian)昌的(de)尖尖”之說。所以上賢(xian)(xian)和(he)冀村(cun)塔(ta)(ta)都沒有(you)(you)塔(ta)(ta)頂(ding)(ding),只(zhi)有(you)(you)汾(fen)陽建(jian)昌塔(ta)(ta)有(you)(you)塔(ta)(ta)頂(ding)(ding)。
